Modern Indian political thought :
text and context /
by Chakrabarty, Bidyut,
Publication:
Thousand Oaks, Calif. :
SAGE Publications,
2009
. xxxix, 430 p. :
, Modern Indian Political Thought: Text and Context is essential reading for students of social sciences seeking to unravel the formation and text of the thoughts of great Indian political thinkers. It is an unconventional articulation of the political thought in India that evolved during the nationalist struggle against colonialism.
The salient features of the book are:
- In contrast to the existing literature on the subject, it carries a context-driven conceptualization of the major strands of political thought that emerged in India in the past two centuries. It focuses on India's peculiar socio-political processes under colonialism that influenced the evolution of such thought.
- Incorporates new ideas and issues that have been articulated, though not as extensively, in contemporary works on Indian nationalist thought and movement.
- Discusses the development and articulation of political thought by leaders like Gandhi, Tagore, Ambedkar, JP, Nehru, and Lohia.
- Covers the Indian freedom struggle in detail.
The distinguishing feature of this book is its linking of the text of Indian political thought with the context. In doing so, it challenges the ethnocentric interpretation of nationalism that, despite its roots in Western Enlightenment, evolved differently because of the context in which it was articulated.

A history of adivasi women in post-independence Eastern India :
the margins of the marginals /
by De, Debasree,
Publication:
. xkiv, 293 pages ;
, A history of the history less, and the marginalization of Adivasi voices.
A History of Adivasi Women in Post-Independence Eastern India is a path-breaking book that explores the current status of Adivasi women in the four states of eastern India with high percentages of Adivasis—Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha, and West Bengal.
Debasree De engages with the recent paradigm of ‘development and displacement’ and Adivasi women’s marginalization and cultural silencing. The findings in the book are based on extensive field surveys in tea-gardens, stone crushing sites, brick kilns and construction industries. Further, the book provides new material on the extremist villages of Jangal Mahal, Koraput, Malkangiri and Niyamgiri Hills.
Linking tribe and gender, the author elaborates how forest economy is women’s economy; forcible eviction by multinationals for new industries has led to severe displacement and poverty, apart from the intensification of witch-hunting and trafficking of girls.
